Dear Momma, as you embrace the beautiful chaos of motherhood, here is a tender and gentle reminder that you are resilient, you are radiant, you are loved and you are cared for!
When you first hold your little bundle of joy, everything seems perfect. It is, after all, a miracle beyond compare one that is unmatched and beyond the highest form of happiness in this world.
Yet, amongst all of the joy and awe that resonates from within, lies the undercurrents of challenges, that melancholic melody of hormonal shifts, and restless and sleepless nights that kickstart the postpartum journey.
In the sea of challenges, the one that strikes the hardest is postpartum hair loss. But dear mom, amidst the ebb and in this flow of the transition, there is a safe sanctuary you can always rely on– a retreat where your beauty is nurtured, a place for your confidence to be restored, and one where your spirit is uplifted: hair extensions.
Understanding Postpartum and It’s Effect On Hair
Postpartum hair loss, also known as postpartum alopecia, is a natural phenomenon that many women experience after giving birth. While you are pregnant your body goes through a number of changes especially hormonal changes which innerwear prolongs the growth phase of your hair. This ultimately results in thicker full and voluminous locks.
But post pregnancy and delivery, there is a whole new change in your hormonal levels as they try to return to normalcy. As this phase ends and while your hormonal levels are trying to go back to their normal levels, hair fall is at its highest and you tend to share a lot of hair than usual.
For all the new mommys out there this sudden hair loss pattern can be quite overwhelming, distressing, and out of the blue. This is when there are waves of stress flowing in, depression slowly starts looming upon you, and anxiety is at an all time peak during these challenging times.
Some mothers also struggle with extreme hair thinning and even bald patches after giving birth. While for some moms out there estrogen levels drop considerably. But one saving grace about this is, this change is not a permanent change. It will bounce back to its normal levels.
All of these occur around 3 to 6 months post pregnancy and delivery. For new mothers these are quite unexpected as well as it put them in the state of shock wondering if they will ever be able to bounce back.

We understand that it is not something that is easy for new moms to both throw but it gets better when you understand it closely. That’s why we decided to dedicate this blog to all the new moms out there battling through post postpartum.
